fifteen tons of sorghum per acre can be
raised. An average yield would be twelve
and half tons, which could be sold at the
mill for S25. A farmer could afford TO cul-
tivate sorghum for that sum per acre pro
vided the mill were close at hand, buthe
could not afford to do so if he had to haul it
ten or fifteen miles. The cost of trauspor-
tation would be too great. If there were
a mill in each county of sorghum produc-
ing section only those whose farms were
within a mile or two of the mill could af
ford to cultivate sorghum. ton makes a
pretty good two-horse load unless the roads
are in an excellent condition.
If it were possible for farmer to grind
his cane and manufacture sugar at about
the same cost that sugar is made in the
large mills, the cultivation of sorghum
would doubtless increase very rapidly. The
making of sugar, however, even by the diff
fusion method, requires an extensive and
costly plant A farmer who cultivated
several thousand acres might own and
operate a mill, but small farmers would
have to depend upon selling their cane.
In thickly settled sections of country, if
the farmers could be induced to devote the
greater part of their farms TO sorghum,
mills might be sustained, but it is evident
that farmers could not afford to transport
their crops more than a couple of miles.
Capital viii have to be found to build the
mills before much attention is given TO the
cultivation of sorghum.
There would be no occasion to fear that
the demand for sugar would not be greater
than the supply. This country now con-
sulnes annually nearly million and half
tons, and the consumption is increasing
rapidly. The duty on that which we import
yields the government about $50000,0OO

The Gravedigger's Song.
By Alfred Antoin.

By Alfred Antoin.
The crab, the bullace and the sloe
They burgeon in the spring;
And when the west wind melts the snow,
The redstartS build and sing.
But Death at work in rind and root
And loves the green buds best;
And when the pairing music's mute,
He spares the empty nest
Death! Death!
Death is master of lord and clown;
Close the coffin and hammer it down
When nuts are brown and sere without,
And white and plump within,
And juicy gourds are passed about,
And trickle down the chin;
When comes the reaper with his scythe,
And reapS, and nothing leaves,
o then it is that Death is blthe,
And sups among the sheaveS.
Death! Death
Lower the coffin and slip the cord;
Death is master of clown and lord,
When logs about the house are stacked,
And next years hose is knit,
And tales are told and jokes are cracked,
And faggots blaze and spit;
Death sits down in the ingle- nook,
Sits down and doth not speak:
But he puts his arm round the maid that's
waril
And she tingles in the cheek
Death Death
Death is master of lord and clown;
Shovel the clay in, tread it down.

The Sorghum Sugar Problen

The farmers of the West are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of cultivating sorghum
cane on a large scale. The recent
statement az Mr.. Coleman, the Com
missioner of Agriculture at Wash
ington, showing that the cane can be
grown at handsome profit, has induced
many farmers TO think seriously of giving
it trial. The yield of sugar from the sor-
ghum by the diffusion process is quite large
The experiments at the sorghum sugar mill
at Fort Scott, Kan, were so satisfactory
that it is expected that other mills will DO
erected at other points in the West. The
farmers have not been prosperous for year
or more because of the low prices of all
kinds of farm products, and they would
gladly cultivate sorghum if they felt that
they could do so with a fair prospect of
getting better return from their farms
than at present
In cuitivating sorghum cane the chief diff
ficulty TO be overcome is that Of transpor-
tation. At the Fort Scott mill the price
paid for cane is 81 ton. On land that will
produce good crop Of corn from ten to

NOT AN oBL1GING CORPSE.
A Man Pronounced Dead Twice Before
He Found it Convenient to Die.


He Found 1t Convenient to Die.
From the Pittsburg Post.
A prominent county official told a remark
able story last night, but declined to give
names, although he gave his solemn word that
the statements could easily be verified. He said
that on Monday, Oct. "a, an undertaken down
town received a telephone message from
other undertaken in the Lawrenceville district
asking him to come out and embalm body,
the Lawrenceville undertaken having facill-
ties for embalming. The downtown under
taker went to the house indicated and
found what he supposed was the
corpse of man. He opened
bottle of embaming fluid, and prepared for the
operation. He then took hold of the arm of the
supposed corpse to make the usual incision for
the insertion of the tube of the pump. AS he
lifted his arm he was aStounded to see the man
open his mouth and yawn, and discovered he
was alive. He hastily kicked his embaming
materials under the bed and called the family,
who at once sent for physician. The embamer
then learned that the man had been lying in
stupor for nearly three months, during which
time he had been kept alive by injections of
milk, but that the doctor had finally pronounced
him dead On Thursday, Oct 81 the EN-
balIner got word again from the same under
taker that he had body to embalm. When he
went out he found it was the same person he
had visited the Monday previous. This time,
after he had got everything in readiness again,
and had lifted the arm to make the incsion, the
man not only opened his mouth, but also UNI
closed his eyes looked at the embalmer for
moment, then, with faint groan, rolled over
on his side and once more became insensible.
The embalmer hastily pulled the sheet up over
him, and the physician was the second time sent
for; On Wednesday of last week, Nov. 2 the
embalmerw was once more called upon, and found
that for the third time he was asked to em5alm
the same man. This time he found no further
evidences of life and concluding the man ought
to be dead if he wasn't, made a sure thing of it
and embalmed him.

No Moral Whatever.

From the London Topical Times.

conveyed to his room a barrel of beer His
tutor came to hear Of the presence there of
that contraband article, and asked him for
an explanation. His reply was that he had
acted under medical advice, inasmuch as il
was necessary for him to keep up his strength
And do you find the prescription answerf"
asked the tutor.
"Oh, yes" replied the undergrad. 81 have

A shabby looking pocketbook, which had
been kicked about by schoolboys the other
day in the neighborhood of Lausanne,
France, under the impression that, as it was
wrapped in newspaper, it could be of no
value, was found to contain 1900 francs,
the exact amount stolen from gentleman
as he was leaving the Banque de Commerce
at Geneva The presumed thieves, who had
been seen in the neighborhood of Lausanne,
were about to be liberated in default of di-
rect evidence against them, and it is believed
that they threw the pocketbook away on
noticing the approach of the police.

The crematory of Paris is announced to
be opened next month. This building,
which is situated in the north of the Gene
terry of Pere la Chaise, has the form of a
parallelogram and is three stories high sur
mounted by two chimneys in white stone
The facade is in black and white marble,
over which are three domes, and a large
vestibule he's also been erected DIR. Brouar-
DEL in a report which he has drawn up on
the working of the crematory, estimates
that the furnaces will be able to consume
4,5O0 bodies annually, which is said to be
about the average number of corpses leav-
ing the hospitals in Paris during the year
The Chamber of Deputies has passed the
bill authorizing cremation, which, however,
is only optional and it only remains for the
Senate to sanction it before it can be
adopted by the public, but it is doubtful if
this mode of disposing of the dead will be-
come popular among the French

The Boston Globe goes into quite an
elaborate calculation to show that, at the
rate of increase which it has shown for sew
eral years, in 1892 the Democratic party will
certainly control Massachusetts,. When
Massachusetts becomes Democratic, YER

ton. Really, that is more than we want.
Only little more than half will do.

Samuel Fielden, one Of the Anarchists
who escaped the gallows, in a well-written
letter to the Chicago Neacs, points out that
in the Supreme Court record and in the
opinion of that court his actions are con-
founded with those of German of similar
name, who was not on trial but was con-
spicuous during that exciting first week in
May, 1886, so that the eliminating acts of
two men are counted against him. 1t is a
singular thing that Fielden should have
waited so long TO bring out this point, or
that his lawyers dill not do 50 for him
when they were trying 10 save him from the
gallows. 1t is matter worthy Of invcsti-
aation, however.

Miss Nellie Cook, the young lady who
attracted so much attention by her canvass
as candidate for School Commissioner of
Wayne county, New York, failed to cap
ture the office, but she met with success in
another direction, which, perhaps, satisfies
her as well-she captured one of the enemy,
bright young Republican lawyer, for a
husband. Female candidates for school
comnrissionerships may be expected to be
numerous hereafter.

Results of the Elections.

The New York World of Friday pub
lished replies from the Governors of many
of the States, Congressman, leading politi-
clans and the editors of leading journals of
the country to telegraphic inquiry sent
them by that paper asking their views as to
! the probable effect of the recent elections on
the national campaign of next year.
The most striking feature of these replies
is the unanimity with which it is agreed
that the elections of last week make the
denomination Of Mr.. Cleveland certain,
! Democrats are also agreed that they make
his election certain. All are confident and
full of enthusiasm.
As to Mr.. Blaine, opinion is divided
among both Democrats and Republicans.
Gov Gordon and others think his chances
for denomination not affected one way or
another; his special friends are sure defeat
in the recent elections has
made the necessity of his leadership
plain, while many including several editors
of Republican journals, incline to the
opinion that he can not be nominated
On the whole. the tone Of these replies is
most encouraging to Democrats. tits plain
that Mr.. Clevcland's popularity, always
with the people rather than the politicians
of his own party, is greater than ever The
politicians no longer dare oppose MIN. They
see that the party is determined TO nominate
him, and that it is the part Of wisdom to
overcome or conceal any grudges they may
entertain on account of disappoint-
ments caused by the Presidents at
N
faith the civil service law. Among the
Senators most prompt in their congratula-
lions at the White House upon the result in
New York, and the strengthening Of Mr..
Cleveland's position, were those who have
been loudest in their denunCiation of what
they have been pleased to call the civil SER
vice fraud" or ''foolishness"
As is said by Gen. Patrick Collins, of Bos-
ton, mo matter how individuals, and
groups of men may growl, the people he
ieve in Cleveland, and will support him
more heartily next year than in lSS4.n He
will stand at the head of united and en-
tbusiastic party, made so by his wise and
progressive policy, and is almost certain of
reelection. The greatest danger lies in
possible want of harmony in the party in
dealing with the important matters which
will come before Congress. There is pos
sibility that radical differences on the ques-
ton of tax reduction may lead to damaging
discussions, but even in this direction the
result of the elections, particularly of that
in New York, cannot fail Of happy effect.
In that State the sense of the people was
taken upon the proper manner to reduce
taxation, and it was so emphatically in
favor of the plan favored by a majority of
Democrats in Congress that the minority
may feel the necessity of falling into line
Altogether, the prospects of the party are
brighter than for many years.

The New York World, with its usual en-
terprise, had an extra edition on the street,
with full details of the execution of the
Anarchists, about an hour before they were
hung, and one of its contemporaries is very
indignant because it cheated these poor
wretches out of forty minutes of life for the
sole purpose of selling few papers" That
the contemporary was cheated out of the sale
of a few papers is probably the real cause of
its Indignation. The Anarchists lives were
not shortened.

1t has heretofore been asserted that the
expectation of Indian wheat to Europe
would be limited by its poor quality. Now
comes the Austrian Consul General at
Venice to explain that the rapid increase in
the importation of wheat from India to
Italy is caused by the fact that it is better
than that of other grain exporting coun-
tries, and produces the finest grades of
-four" This is further proof that the
American farmer must be relieved OF his

LANSING, Mich, Nov. 18.-The Ma
tional Grange went into session Wednes-
day evening. Worthy idaster Darden re-
ported that 147 new oranges have been
established the past year. The state
grange of Nebraska has been re-estab-
lished and work begun in Rhode Island,
completing the circle of the states. In
the afternoon a reception was held in
Representative hall, at which z, 900 dele
gates were present, Governor Luce de-
livered the address of welcome and was
followed by Master Darden, Hon. O..
ers. Closed sessions were held at which
the reports of the masters of the state
oranges were heard. Most of them made
good showing. The report of the secre-
tary shows hat 140 original charters,
forty-seven duplicate charters, forty nine
deputies certificates, and ~dispensations
of 143 new oranges were issued during
ah1 year. The total receipts were S3,-
5S4. The treasurer reported q balance
on hand of $S,054. Resolutions were in
troduced and referred, favoring the es-
tablishment of a postal telegraph; chang
ing section four of the Interstate law;
asking for a law prohibiting the adul-
iteration of food and dealing in futures,
and asking for representation in the
cabinet. Superintendent of Agriculture
Coleman delivered an address on the
work of the department and it's relations
to the grange.
